\"TELUS\"<\/a>An oft-repeated myth is that Canada’s industry is characterized by players that keep to their home turf. A press release caught my eye this morning that contradicts that view.<\/p>\n

TELUS has teamed<\/a> up with the IWK Health Care centre in Halifax to deliver a specialized portfolio of solutions to break down the walls that separate hospitalized kids from friends and family.<\/p>\n

Created by Kids’ Health Links Foundation, Upopolis.com<\/a> provides the best features of social networking for young patients who often feel disconnected when they’re in the hospital.<\/p>\n

Kid’s Health Links and TELUS launched the program in 2007 at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. Since then, it continues to expand to hospitals across Canada, including B.C. Children’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of significance is the evidence of TELUS’ active presence in eastern Canada – Bell and Bell Aliant territory – with the service in Ottawa at CHEO and in Hamilton at Mac. TELUS has chalked up a number of significant wins in the public and financial sector.<\/p>\n

The battle goes both ways: just look at Bell’s Olympian efforts to equip the Vancouver winter games and delivering Alberta’s Supernet.<\/p>\n

Consumers benefit from this level of competition as well. Choice between phone companies, cable companies and various fibre owners enable the smarter smaller operators to leverage competitive wholesale arrangements for delivery of customer solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
